Saudi Arabia Telecommunications Report


Posted July 6, 2016 by sharonwilliams

The country’s telecom sector is compared with its peer markets to evaluate the position of Saudi Arabia in regional and global front.

 
The Saudi mobile market is dynamic and consumers are looking for faster data services in the wireless and wireline markets alike. Nevertheless, the mobile market is very mature and is displaying classic signs of slowing down with penetration rates inching towards 180%. We believe that a significant number of inactive accounts may be present on operator books. Furthermore, organic growth in terms of subscribe numbers will not be present in the market over the course of our forecast period. Nevertheless, we are optimistic that the strong investments by operators in enhancing their infrastructure capabilities will help the market with growth opportunities. Additionally, eEnterprise solutions are becoming a main pillar for the leading operators, with new datacentres and business solutions popping up regularly. Still, overall competition is keeping ARPU down and the development of infrastructure in a country as vast as Saudi Arabia is quite expensive. While investing heavily into their fibre backbones, operators are therefore looking to improve the efficiency of their infrastructure and are aiming to outsource towers.

Latest Updates & Industry Developments
■ Mobile subscriptions reached 53.6mn according to our estimates and the penetration rate reached 179.3% at the end of December 2015, with the yearly Hajj pilgrimage customarily driving up subscriptions in Q3.
■ The wireline voice market grew to 4.7mn subscribers at the end of Q315 as according to regulator data. However, demand for high speed data services is driving growth in the wireline broadband segment.
■ Mobile broadband subscriptions climbed to 35.7mn at the end of Q315, with a rising prevalence of smartphones accelerating demand for data and content.
